Desserts are always a fun thing to bring to a hosted Thanksgiving party. People always love sweets after their large Thanksgiving Feast. But, after cooking all the different side dishes and the main course, desserts can be left out to dry. And, as you may have realized, I am more of a cook than a baker, so these four easy-to-make and quick desserts are great for that last-minute, "oh, I forgot to make dessert!" moments.
Each dessert can be substituted for your favorite fall fruit, like apples, even though I had used other kinds. Let's quickly share these desserts so you can get to baking.

Cherry Hand Pie Recipe
The first dessert is a CHERRY HAND PIE RECIPE. This recipe is great for kids for those "grab and go" active kiddos. They can quickly take it with them with little mess. This recipe is not a gluten-free dessert, though.
Gluten-Free Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake Recipe
The next recipe is a Gluten Free version. It's a Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake recipe. It makes 12 cupcakes and is excellent for serving individual portion-controlled sizes.
Spiced Peach Crumble Recipe
The next recipe is a slow cooker recipe. It's called Spiced Peach Crumble. It used oatmeal and frozen and thawed peaches. It's great to make and keep warm for after dinner.
Gluten-Free Apple Cobbler Recipe
And the last quick recipe is an easy Gluten-Free Apple Cobbler. This is another gluten-free recipe, but it can be made with regular flour. This one is also yummy, with caramel drizzled on top for extra sweetness.

These all look delicious, and because they're fruit-based, we don't have to feel quite so guilty if we indulge!
